SEO for businesses in Heraklion, Crete

Heraklion lives from two markets: the residents of Crete’s largest city and the millions of visitors arriving at Nikos Kazantzakis airport. We make sure both can find you.

Tourists who decide before they land

A visitor staying in Hersonissos, Malia or Agia Pelagia searches for a transfer, a car and a trip to Knossos or Spinalonga from home, in English, German, French or Polish. If your site does not answer those searches, the booking goes to a platform that takes a commission.

We build pages for every route, area and activity, in the languages of your markets, and make them show up in AI answers too. It is how we worked for a travel company on Samos.

A city of universities, hospitals and exporters

Beyond tourism, Heraklion has a large healthcare, education and retail market, and companies exporting olive oil, wine and local products. For clinics and shops we set up local SEO and Google Maps; for exporters, multilingual e-shops and B2B pages.

Questions we get asked

Can you work with Crete businesses without being there?

Yes. SEO runs on calls, shared reports and Search Console access. We already have results for tourism businesses on an island with the same way of working.

When should a Heraklion tourism business start?

Ideally in autumn or winter. Pages need a few months to be indexed and gain positions before spring bookings start.
